1 Harmonically-related diffraction gratings-based interferometer for quadrature phase measurements Zahid Yaqoob, Jigang Wu, Xiquan Cui, Xin Heng, and Changhuei Yang Department of Electrical Engineering, MC 6-9, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA 95 Abstract: We demonstrate the use of shallow diffraction gratings for quadrature phase interferometry. A single shallow diffraction grating-based Michelson interferometer yields only trivial ( o or 8 o phase shift between different output ports. In comparison, a combination of two parallel shallow diffraction gratings can be useful to achieve desired phase shifts (e.g., 9 o for quadrature phase interferometry. We show that the phase at different output ports of a grating-pair based interferometer can be adjusted by shearing the two gratings with respect to each other. Two harmonicallyrelated diffraction gratings are used to demonstrate phase shift control at the output ports of a modified Michelson interferometer. Our experimental data is in good agreement with theory. 6 Optical Society of America OCIS Codes: (.88 Holographic interferometry; (8.7 Interference microscopy; (7.88 Medical and Biological Imaging References and links.

Introduction Highly accurate amplitude and phase measurements of optical signals are important in many applications ranging from metrology [] to cell biology []. Traditional phase-contrast imaging techniques such as Zernike phase [, ] and Nomarski differential interference contrast (DIC [5] render excellent phase contrast images; however, the phase information is only qualitative in nature. To retrieve quantitative phase information in Nomarski DIC, several approaches have been proposed that include: DIC with changing shear direction [6], phase shifting DIC [7, 8], and non-iterative phase reconstruction methods such as half-plane Hilbert transform [9]. In addition, Arnison et al. proposed a method that combined DIC microscopy with phase shifting, shear rotation, and Fourier phase integration to yield linear phase image of a sample []. Recently, Ishiwata et al. have developed retardation-modulated DIC - a method to extract the phase component from the DIC image using two images with different retardation []. Other methods for quantitative phase imaging (QPI include digital holography [, ], Hilbert phase microscopy (HPM [, 5], and polarization based techniques [6, 7]. Interference microscopy techniques based on PSI generally require recording of four interferograms with precise / phase shifts of the reference field, adding complexity to the system while others can be computation extensive. HPM and digital holography are simpler as they require only one interferogram for QPI. We note that the methods depend on recording of high frequency spatial fringes for successful phase unwrapping. We also note that multiport fiber based systems such as x couplers can provide non-trivial phase difference, which can be manipulated for quadrature phase measurements [8, 9]. However, free space equivalents of a x coupler do not exist. In this letter, we report a new method for obtaining non-trivial phase difference between the output ports of a reflectance based interferometer through the use of shallow diffraction gratings. We show that as opposed to a single shallow diffraction grating-based interferometer (which provides only trivial phase shifts, a pair of harmonically-related shallow diffraction gratings can be used to realize a modified Michelson interferometer where the phase shifts between different output ports can be adjusted. More importantly, the phase shift can be adjusted by simply shearing one grating with respect to the other. This approach does not change the path length relationships of the different interference beams within the interferometer an advantage for metrology [] and low coherence interferometry applications [-]. This reported method to obtain non-trivial phase shift opens new possibilities for full-field quadrature phase interferometry. #78 - $5.

3 . Phase of diffracted light in shallow gratings The phase of transmitted / reflected and diffracted light in shallow diffraction gratings is a well understood quantity. However, for the sake of completeness, we provide a brief account of how a diffraction grating affects the phase of light. Consider a sinusoidal phase grating (see Fig.. α Φ Λ = α cos x o -x o x Λ Fig.. Spatial phase modulation in a sinusoidal phase grating. The complex transmittance of a sinusoidal phase grating can be expressed as: t exp, ( jα cos x = o Λ where α, Λ, and x o are the amplitude of phase modulation, period, and displacement from the origin along x-direction, respectively, of the phase grating. Defining ξ o = xo / Λ, we can rewrite Eq. ( in the form: ( = t x J m ( α exp jm x ξ, ( o m= Λ where J m ( α is m th order Bessel function of the first kind. Using the identity m J m ( α = ( J m ( α, the relative phase of the m th diffracted order with respect to the zeroth order is given by: ( m ξ xo, m ( φ x = ( o m ξ o. m It should be noted that for shallow phase gratings, Eq. ( holds regardless of the grating profile [].. Single grating-based Michelson interferometer Diffraction gratings can be used as beam splitters in different interferometric designs. As mentioned earlier, the diffracted light in diffraction gratings acquires a unique phase with respect to the undiffracted light. Moreover, this distinct phase φ(x o can be adjusted by translating the diffraction grating in x-direction [see Eq. (]. However, the phase shifts between different output ports of single grating-based Michelson / Mach-Zehnder interferometers are only trivial in nature. To better understand this phenomenon and the operation of our harmonically-related gratings-based interferometer, we start by examining a simpler system a Michelson interferometer based on a single shallow diffraction grating G [see Fig. (a, and (b]. #78 - $5.

4 In the arrangement shown in Fig. (a, a collimated beam from a laser source is directed at normal incidence at G, which acts as a beam splitter during the first diffraction. Only two beams are considered, i.e., the zeroth order (black line and a first order diffracted beam (red line which form the sample and reference arms, respectively, of the Michelson interferometer. Note that the grating period Λ can be chosen so that only the zeroth and the first order diffracted beams exist. Mirror M is shown as the sample whereas M represents the reference mirror. The returning sample and reference beams reach the grating G and undergo a second diffraction. At this time, the grating acts both as a beam splitter as well as a combiner, since it splits and combines the incoming sample and reference beams at the three output ports I, II, and III of the interferometer. The coincident reference and sample beams at the three ports are shown as dashed black and red lines [see Fig. (b]. A beam splitter (BS is used to separate the output beam at port II from the input beam. In the context of Figs. (c- (e, which illustrate the phase of the diffracted beams with respect to the undiffracted beams during the two passes, the total electric field at port I of the single grating-based interferometer can be written as: { i( kd ξ / } i( kd ξ / EI = E exp E exp{ }, where E and E are the amplitudes of the field components reaching port I from the sample and reference arms, respectively. k is the optical wave vector, and the parameters d and d correspond to the path lengths of the sample and reference arms, respectively. Moreover, * ξ = x / Λ, where x is the displacement of the grating G. Therefore, using E E, the I I interference signal at port I of the interferometer can be written as: i = A cos{ k( d d ξ }, (5a I Field comp. from the sample arm Field comp. from the reference arm ( BS x G d M BS III x G d M IN (a d M II I (b d M G ξ ξ (c ξ ξ (d G ( ξ x ξ G (e Fig..

5 i A cos{ k( d d ξ }, (5b II = i A cos{ k( d d ξ }, (5c III = respectively. The parameters A i, i =,, are the amplitudes of the interference signals at ports I, II, and III, respectively, and depend upon the diffraction efficiency of the grating G. It is clear from Eq. (5 that ports II and III of a single shallow grating-based Michelson interferometer are in phase whereas the port I of the interferometer is 8 o out of phase with respect to the other two output ports. This geometry is therefore unsuitable for extracting quadrature signals. To corroborate the above discussion, an experimental setup was made using a collimated beam (/e diameter mm from a HeNe laser (λ = 6 nm and a shallow 6 grooves/mm blazed transmission grating (Thorlabs, Inc., GT5-6V. The reference mirror was mounted on a voice coil to modulate the reference arm. Heterodyne interference signals were acquired at the three output ports using New Focus photodetectors (model and a 6-bit analogto-digital converter (National Instruments, model PXI-6. The grating was mounted on a computer-controlled piezo actuator (5.5 nm/v in order to measure the phase shifts between different ports of the interferometer for various positions of the grating. For each position of the grating, DC components were removed from the acquired heterodyne signals at the three ports; the resulting interference signals, represented by Eqs. (5a-(5c, were subsequently processed to determine the phase shifts between the output ports. Figure shows the measured phase shifts between different output ports of the interferometer versus grating displacement over.5 microns (~ grating periods along the x direction specified in Figs. (a,and (b. As expected, ports II and III are in phase whereas port I is ~8 o out of phase with respect to the ports II and III, indicating that a single shallow diffraction grating-based Michelson interferometer cannot provide but trivial phase shifts between different output ports. Although, p-polarized light was used in this reported experiment (see results in Fig., similar results were observed for the s-polarized light.

Harmonically-related grating pair-based Michelson interferometer As illustrated by Eq. (5a-Eq. (5c, a non-trivial phase shift given by ξ is conferred on the interference term associated with each output port of a single-grating based interferometer. Since the amount of non-trivial phase shift is the same for each output port, the configuration shown in Figs. (a and (b yields only trivial phase difference between the output ports. This illustrates that it is not possible for a single shallow grating based interferometer, the #78 - $5.

6 Michelson interferometer described above or the Mach Zehnder configuration described in Ref. [], to operate as a quadrature phase interferometer. Fortunately, this effect does not extend to interferometers that contain two or more shallow gratings. In this section, we report on a modified Michelson interferometer based on two harmonically-related shallow diffraction gratings [see Figs. (a and (b] that can be adjusted to form a quadrature phase interferometer. We choose the period of first grating G as twice the period of the second grating G. The two gratings are placed at distance d and aligned such that the grating planes as well as grating vectors are parallel to that of each other. Two mirrors M and M are introduced in the setup and aligned such that the first order diffracted beams (solid green and red lines from G meet with the undiffracted beam (solid black line at G [see Fig. (a]. Moreover, the angle of incidence for the two beams at G is the same as the angle of diffraction θ at G. x G G x M IN BS θ d M d d d M M (a x G G x BS III θ M d d M II I M (b d d M G ξ (c ξ G G ξ ( x ξ (d (e ξ ξ ξ G (f ξ ξ G (g ξ ξ G (h Fig..

7 beams from G to form the reference beam (dashed red-green line as shown in Fig. (a. The undiffracted beam from G passes straight through G to form the sample arm of the interferometer. We note that fine alignment between the grating vectors is important in the proposed scheme for non trivial phase shifts. The grating vectors alignment can be ensured by observing the interference pattern of reference beam arriving at mirror M. As mentioned earlier, the reference beam (represented by dashed red-green line is comprised of two field components. Without proper alignment of the grating vectors, the interference of the two field components will form fringes at mirror M. However, by adjusting the grating vector alignment of the grating G, the fringes can be transformed into a bull s eye pattern a representative of exact alignment of the grating vectors. The returning sample beam arrives straight at G whereas the reference arm beam reaches G through the two possible paths set by the grating G and mirrors M and M. The portion of returning reference beam that passes through G undiffracted is shown as dashed red-green line whereas the diffracted component is represented by dashed purple-blue line [see Fig. (b]. Next, the grating G splits and combines the incoming sample and reference beams at ports I, II, and III of the interferometer; the coincident five field components are represented by a five-colored dashed line at each output port. Figures (c-(h show the phase of different beams as they undergo diffraction at G and G during their trip from the input port to the output ports of the modified Michelson interferometer. The total electric field at port I of the harmonically-related grating pair based interferometer can be written as: E I = exp [ E E E E { ik( d d } I, exp{ i( ξ / } I, exp{ i( ξ ξ } I, exp{ i( ξ ξ } I, exp{ i( ξ ξ / }] exp{ ik( d d } exp i( ξ / E I,5 { }. In Eq. (6, the path lengths d and d are related to the sample and reference arms, respectively. The parameters E I, to E I, are the amplitudes of field components from the reference arm whereas E I,5 is the amplitude of the field component from the sample arm ξ x = x Λ (as defined earlier arriving at port I of the interferometer. Furthermore, ( / and ξ = x / Λ. The parameters x and Λ are the displacement and period, respectively, of the second grating G. As labeled in Eq. (6, the first four terms represent the field components arriving at the output port I from the reference arm. This is because there are two possible paths (via mirrors M and M to transit between gratings G and G. The 5th term in Eq. (6 is the field component contributed by the sample arm. We also note that by shearing the grating G with respect to G, the phase of nd to th reference field components can be adjusted. As a note, if either of the paths (via mirrors M and M were blocked, only st or th term will remain (as contribution from the reference arm that will yield trivial phase shifts similar to that in a single grating-based interferometer design. From Eq. (6, we can express the interference signal at the output port I of the interferometer [shown in Fig. (a, and (b] can be written as: where, x = E, x EI 5 cos[ k( d d d d φ, x { ξ ξ }], (7a i I, (6 Field comp. from ref. arm via M, M, M Field comp. from ref. arm via M, M, M Field comp. from ref. arm via M, M, M Field comp. from ref. arm via M, M, M Field comp. from the sample arm #78 - $5.

(e,5 It can be seen from Eqs. (7-( that the amplitude and phase of the interference signals at the three ports I, II, and III not only depend on the strength of individual field components taking part in the interference but also on the additional phase shifts from gratings G and G. For clarity, we take a closer look at the interference signals, given by Eqs. (7a, (9a and (a, at the three output ports. It can be seen that the non-trivial phase term [ ξ ξ ] is mutual to all the three interference terms. It, therefore, yields a trivial phase shift between different output ports. The non-trivial phase terms in Eqs. (7a, (9a and (a, which play a role in providing a non-trivial phase shift between the output ports, are φ, x, φ, x, and φ, x, respectively. These phase terms do not depend on the path lengths and can be solely adjusted by shearing of the harmonically-related gratings. #78 - $5.

The only phase term that involves the path lengths d i, i =,,, is k( d d d d, and is common to all the three interference signals. As such, it yields only a trivial phase between different output ports. This also illustrates that in the described scheme, the shearing of the gratings to achieve non-trivial phase does not change the path length relationship between the interference beams at the output ports of the modified Michelson interferometer. For experimental verification, we realized a setup shown in Figs. (a, and (b. A collimated beam (/e diameter mm from a 6 nm HeNe laser was used in the experiment. We chose G to be the same as that used in the setup shown in Fig. (a whereas G the second harmonic grating was selected as grooves/mm blazed transmission grating (Thorlabs, Inc., GT5-. The path length d between the gratings G and G was ~ cm. The reference mirror M was mounted on a voice coil to modulate the reference arm.

11 Figure 6 shows both the measured as well as the theoretical phase differences between output ports of the interferometer versus shearing of grating G up to one grating periods. Table shows measured diffraction efficiencies of gratings G and G (used in the setup to calculate theoretical phase shifts between different ports of the interferometer. It can be seen that phase shift between ports I and III changes almost in a linear fashion as the grating G is sheared along the x direction. This ability to achieve non-trivial phase shifts illustrates the possibility to design gratings-based interferometer for full-field quadrature phase interferometry. This experiment does require gratings that are uniform and harmonically-related over the area of the incident beams. Based on the goodness-of-fit of our measurements, the gratings do appear to be well behaved over the area of our beams in the experiment. 5. Summary and conclusion In summary, we have proposed and experimentally demonstrated the use of planar shallow diffraction gratings in a modified Michelson interferometric setup to achieve non-trivial phase shifts between different output ports. The phase shift is adjusted by simply shearing the gratings with respect to each other. The ability to adjust the phase shifts between different ports of the interferometer is a useful feature of the design for quadrature phase interferometry. The main advantage of the proposed method for non-trivial phase is that the shearing of the gratings does not change the path length relationship between interference beams at the output ports of the interferometer an advantage for metrology and low coherence interferometry applications. Note that a single shallow diffraction grating-based Michelson interferometer cannot provide but trivial phase shifts between different output ports; hence, it is not suitable for quadrature phase measurements. In a proof-of-concept experiment, we have used 6 grooves/mm and grooves/mm shallow diffraction gratings to demonstrate the phase shift control between various ports of the modified Michelson interferometer. The experimental data is in good agreement with the theoretical results calculated for our proposed harmonically-related gratings-based interferometer scheme. The initial study is promising and sets the stage for future progress in grating based quadrature phase imaging. Another permutation for harmonically-related grating-based Michelson interferometer is to use the port (instead of port of the grating G (see Fig. 5 to realize the sample arm. However, this new design will generate a total of eight field components (four from sample arm and another four from the reference arm at each output port of the interferometer. Here, an interesting question arises as whether we can also use two similar gratings (e.g., a G G combination as opposed the G G combination in the design shown in Fig. (a, and (b. As a matter of fact, it is possible to use two similar gratings to control phase shift between different output ports. However, this design will yield twelve field components (six each from the reference and sample arms at each output port. The complexity of similar gratings-based interferometer design can be reduced if one of the mirrors, i.e., M or M is removed. This will reduce the total number of field components at each output port to eight. Nonetheless, the harmonically-related gratings-based modified Michelson interferometer proposed and demonstrated in this paper yields only a total of five field components at each output port and is, to our knowledge, the simplest gratings-based quadrature phase interferometric design. An additional advantage of using harmonically-related gratings (as opposed to similar gratings is that they can also be fabricated or holographically recorded on a single substrate, making it possible to design compact imaging systems for full-field quadrature interferometry. Finally, we believe that the concepts of harmonically-related gratings-based interferometer can be easily translated to X-rays as well, making it possible to realize X-ray systems for quadrature phase measurements.
